Step 1: Soak the plank for at least 1 hour or more. Step 2: Heat Grill to 350°- 400° F. Step 3: Add soaked plank to grill rack, close cover, heat 3 minutes and flip plank. Step 4: Place food on the plank, cover the grill, and cook until done. Step 5. Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The longer you soak the plank, the better. More moisture will be available during cooking, allowing for the longer cooking times required for larger cuts of meat. Try using wines, fruit juices, or ciders when soaking the plank. This will add unique flavors to the food. When using a charcoal grill, let the fire spread throughout the charcoal and the flames recede below the cooking grates. When using a gas grill, set heat at 425°. To prevent sticking, apply any type of cooking oil to the plank surface. Keep a spray bottle handy to extinguish any flare-ups while cooking. The plank should rarely flare up if it is properly soaked and the grill is kept covered.
